It depends on how the property is titled. Tenancy in common is different than if it is titled with right of survivorship.
I have farm plates currently ony pickup and that is how it has been since I've gotten it. I haven't moved or nothing. I have chickens and move livestock very frequently but county keeps using the excuse that I need to own farm land in able to get farm plates
answered on Feb 16, 2023
Using the vehicle for moving livestock isn't the only qualification for having farm plates. Farm plates are available to other than just the owner of farm land. You will need to review the criteria for farm plates and see if you qualify. The rules have been modified over the years so it is... View More

Yes, it is possible to be personally liable, but it depends on the specific facts of your case. One method is through "piercing the corporate veil." The tax collector is generally an aggressive creditor. You should seek counsel.
Our family could use income in this economy. But I now have many health problems. Do I qualify because I'm not working?

You need to contact an attorney that focuses on social security disability claims. Whether or not you qualify for these benefits is a fact-specific analysis. You will likely also need to gather medical documentation to show that you are not able to work due to your health issues in order to... View More

It is not uncommon for some bond terms to legally allow searches that would otherwise be unlawful. You would need to speak with your criminal defense attorney to determine if the search in your particular situation was lawful or not.

These types of questions of negligence are very fact-specific. You could get into issues of maintenance, etc. in addition to default of the product itself. Even if the driver is found to be at fault and ordered to pay, the driver may then have a cause of action against the manufacturer to recoup... View More
When a child turns of legal age in Nebraska, can they themselves seek retroactive child support from their non-custodial parent (even though no parternity has not been established, but know who the non-custodial parent is, and resided out of state)?
answered on Feb 16, 2023
Child support is owed to the person who supports the child during the child's minority, not technically to the child. I have never seen the Court allow a person to bring an action for child support if paternity and child support weren't established while the child was a minor. The... View More

A local attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. A local attorney must advise here, but in many states, only limited economic damages are recoverable if uninsured. However, each state has its own rules. Try to arrange a free initial consultation with a local... View More
They have recently retired. And are now asking for my payment. 5 years is a little silly

Check the statute of limitations for contracts in your state, if it is past that time you do not have to pay. If it is within the time limitations, you may have a defense called laches.
The house is in both of our names.
answered on Jan 27, 2023
The answer would depend on how you and the sister owned the house. If the house is owned as Tenants-in-Common, each owns an undivided interest in the property. The deceased sister's interest would pass through her estate.
If the property is owned in Joint Tenancy with Rights of... View More

If the Will is valid the Court will admit the most recent recently executed Will. The Will could be challenged if there is any concern for undue influence, capacity or fraud.

If you live in Nebraska, the age of majority is 19 years old. Thus, an 18 year in Nebraska is generally still in the legal custody of their parents. One exception to this would be if the 18 year old is legally emancipated by court order.

Yes. An immigrant who entered the US lawfully can adjust status to get a green card after marriage to a US Citizen.
Is it true that evidence brought up during a mediation cannot be brought up in court before a judge. Since i know my ex and i wont be able to agree during mediation.
answered on Jan 10, 2023
At trial, you can generally testify as to what the other party said to you. One exception to this is usually that comments that a person said to you as part of a formal mediation session are not allowed to be disclosed in Court.
Thus, generally yes, statements made in mediation are... View More
I am changing companies and have been told that I have to have continuous coverage on my auto and home insurance. Is this correct for the state of Nebraska?

You have to have "proof of financial responsibility" for your vehicles, which for most people, means that they have to have vehicle liability insurance (auto insurance) on the vehicle at least at the statutory minimums at all times. There are some exceptions that you can read about on... View More

Your question doesn't give any details as to you or your situation. If you believe a crime has been committed, you may need to file a police report.

I assume that you also paid this person. There are cases of fraud where a contractor accepts payment or partial payment and then leaves the area without doing any work or having the intention to do so. If you believe you may have been scammed, you may want to contact the non-emergency line and... View More
I know child support must be paid until age 19 in Nebraska, but why would the mother get the money if the child no longer lives there after age 18? Can it go directly to the 18 year old child instead?
answered on Jan 9, 2023
It is actually not uncommon for a parent to still be ordered to pay child support even though the teenage child is no longer living with the custodial parent. The most common situation is when the teen is living in the dorms at the freshman year of college. So long as the custodial parent is... View More

I would like to know How many times you can File for a protection Is order in Nebraska Is there a limit on how many you can file in a year
answered on Dec 29, 2022
I don't believe there is a set limit. However, a Court can reprimand a person (such as awarding attorney fees) for filing frivilous actions, such as repeatedly filing new actions after losing a similar action.
